“？？？？？？ The Nationalist Government of the Republic of China has repeatedly stated this year that it has decided to consistently and resolutely eliminate the Japanese militarist government that endangers world peace. However, he is still willing to cooperate with Japan's peace-loving and far-sighted politicians and work together to build a new world order in the East. Today, Japan's army and navy have suffered heavy losses, the militarist forces have been greatly weakened, and people of insight have risen up in various parts of Japan, and the momentum of revolution is growing day by day. At this time, the Nationalist Government solemnly expounded to the rest of the world the general policy of readjusting relations with the newly-born peaceful Japan so that the world could thoroughly understand China's sincerity.

China, Japan, and the ROK should unite with the common goal of building and safeguarding a new world order in the East, and seek to achieve mutual good-neighborliness, friendship, common defense, and economic cooperation. The Chinese side is willing to first show its goodwill, suspend the bombing of cities on the Japanese mainland, and at the same time open negotiations and contacts with all responsible political forces on the Japanese side, and will not refuse the current Japanese government to come to its senses.

At the same time, the Chinese Government can also guarantee Japan's inherent territorial integrity and sovereign independence, not interfere in Japan's domestic judicial and political affairs, sign a mutual defense treaty with Japan, undertake the obligation to protect Japan from all foreign aggression, establish close economic relations of cooperation with Japan, and completely liberalize and facilitate trade and investment between China and Japan, and realize the free movement of people between the two countries.

Japan, on the other hand, should thoroughly review its aggressive and expansionist policy, abandon all land gained by aggression and expansion, and return to its original territory before the invasion of the Ryukyus. Peaceful development of economic competition is its long-term national policy. A strong naval force can no longer be retained. Air power must also be severely limited. In view of the fact that the war between Japan and the United States has not yet ended, the Nationalist Government of China will try its best to mediate the war between Japan and the United States, and the Hawaiian Islands occupied by Japan must also be returned to the United States?????? ”

Pyongyang, inside the bunker of the headquarters of the Japanese and Korean forces. At this time, the sound of guns and shouts on the front line could not be heard, but a radio was broadcasting the broadcast of the Central News Agency of China, which contained the "Statement on Policy Adjustment Toward Japan" just issued by the Chinese Nationalist Government. Except for the soft-sounding announcer's voice on the radio, the room was silent.

If I had heard such a statement half a month ago, the indignant young staff officers in this headquarters would have jumped up and smashed the radio! But now, these Japanese officers trapped in the siege seem to have lost a little temper. One by one, they all listened to the "deception statement" of the Chinese and did not speak.

The battle of the Korean army was fought like this, and the entire empire was almost buried by them! How dare these staff officers destroy public property in addition to being ashamed or blaming themselves? In fact, there were already several staff officers who took advantage of the darkness. Find a place where there is no one and quietly kill yourself! Later, there were too many people who committed suicide, and General Sugiyama had no choice but to issue a military order, prohibiting the entire Korean army from committing suicide without approval! Well, if you want to commit suicide, you have to send a report to the personnel department of the Korean military headquarters to see if anyone can replace the Japanese Taijun who can't think of it?????? If not, then I'm sorry, and I'll have to live secretly for a while longer, and continue to serve His Majesty the Emperor.

But he hid in the bunker all day and suffered from Chinese shells and bombs. And listening to this on the radio, what kind of "Statement on Policy Adjustment with Japan" can be regarded as an omission to the emperor? This is obviously a stealing life! It is obviously the commander General Sugiyama Moto, who is greedy for life and afraid of death! Not worthy of being a samurai at all!

Although Okamura Ninji's previous decisive battle plan seemed to have ruined the North Korean army, the kind of fighting style that either won a vigorous victory or made the North Korean army wither like a cherry blossom was quite suitable for the appetite of these army elites in the North Korean army. And now...... A part of the fanatical staff officers of the North Korean Army have already put forward a proposal like Sugiyama Yuan that the whole army will break the cauldron and fight to the death with the besieging squadron! Everyone knows that there is still a glimmer of hope for a decisive battle, and if it drags on, even if the Chinese do not attack, the supplies in the besieged city will be exhausted, and the entire Korean army will be completely wiped out at that time!

However, General Sugiyama rejected all suggestions for a decisive battle! And that's not all. He also openly listened to enemy Taiwan in the headquarters of the DPRK Army! He also asked the chief of staff, Ishihara Wanji, to translate the broadcast of the Shina people into Japanese, word for word...... Could it be that General Sugiyama wanted to act as a "man of insight" in Japan and cooperate with the Chinese?

There have been a few officers with particularly high vigilance who quietly sent a small report to the military department, but the result of the change was a reprimand from the military department! Moreover, the military department also issued a special guidance for the North Korean army to hold on and wait for help! In other words, it affirms Sugiyama Moto's beaten tactics like a turtle with a shrunken head!

"It's really an old fool under the Xianyuan Palace!"

"The North Korean army is finished! The empire is over! ”

At present, as long as the officers of the DPRK army get together, they will inevitably say two such things. Inevitably, defeatist sentiments began to spread in several besieged cities. Therefore, the Chinese army in the besieging city did not know why they retreated more than ten kilometers. In the case of changing the siege to surveillance, the North Korean army did not dare to take the initiative to attack. did not even dare to expand their own defensive positions......

By this time, the radio had ended. Sugiyama stood up, walked over slowly, and turned off the switch on the radio. Then he looked back at Ishihara: "What do you think?" ”

"//,--No Ads//Your Excellency! The entire North Korean army has made up its mind to die!

"The North Korean army will never give in to China!"

"Your Excellency! Please give the order for the North Korean army to attack! ”

Before Ishihara could answer, several excited voices rang out in the war room. Sugiyama Mototo, with a sigh on his face, waved his hand at a few staff officers with grief and indignation on their faces and red eyes, telling them to shut up. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Gentlemen, where do you all want to go?" As the commander of the North Korean army, how could I not know the determination of the North Korean army? But the current situation of the war requires us to develop a spirit of perseverance, and I promise you that the day of sacrifice will come, but not now! ”

I saw that the staff officers all lowered their heads one by one. There is nothing more to say. Sugiyama Mototo looked at Ishihara Wan'er with a stern complexion. Ishihara sighed softly. He replied, "It seems that the Shina people will soon land on the Japanese mainland!" ”

"What! Did they ignore the million-strong army of the North Korean army? Deputy Chief of Staff Oshiroto Sanji gasped, stood up abruptly, walked to the front of the map, stared at it for a moment, and still shook his head: "Impossible, impossible." Not to mention Jeju Island, there are no less than 800,000 imperial troops in Pyongyang, Wonsan, and Pusan! It is simply impossible for the Chinese army to use Korea as a springboard to attack the mainland. Moreover, to encircle the 800,000 imperial army, at least 1 million troops are needed, where did the people of China get so many troops to invade the mainland? ”

"I don't understand it either." Ishihara shook his head: "But judging from this "Statement on Policy Adjustment to Japan". The people of China were indeed making political preparations for the landing. As he spoke, his eyebrows tightened: "Perhaps, some domestic political forces have begun to cooperate with the Chinese people......"

"It can't be!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"With His Majesty the Emperor here, the empire thinks it's ten thousand people with one heart!"

The voices of rebuttal rang out again, and all the staff officers had disapproving expressions. There is an emperor here. How could Japan have a spies? Even if it is, it will definitely not be able to make any waves! As for the rumors that the emperor had left Tokyo and fled to the new state of Japan, these elites of the Japanese Army, of course, would not believe it.

……

The car of King Asakanomiya drove into the "Imperial Palace" in the center of New Tokyo (Sydney), Kido Yukii was already waiting there early in the morning, and when he saw Asakanomiya get out of the car, Kido greeted him: "Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, please come with me." ”

"Your Majesty is okay today?" Chao Xianggong asked in a low voice, of course, he also read the "Statement on Policy Adjustment Toward Japan" just issued by the Chinese side, and soon after. Then came the Emperor's edict, and it was clear that today's summons was related to this statement.

"Not bad," Kido replied with a bitter smile, "at least the Shina side has announced a moratorium on the bombing of the mainland...... The people in the country can finally get a few restful sleeps. ”

Chao Xianggong heard this, but his brows furrowed deeply. Listening to Kido's tone, it seems that the "Statement" of the Chinese side is not very repulsive, and Kido probably means that he represents the emperor, could it be that Hirohito also wants to act as a "man of insight" to cooperate with China?

With a question mark on his head, Asakanomiya met Emperor Hirohito, who was in good spirits, and the great god who abandoned the country and fled began to "lament all night" after arriving in New Tokyo. I felt deeply sorry for my ancestors and ancestors, and I was clamoring to go back to Japan all day long, which made the leaders of the New Japanese Front Army and the New Japanese Governor's Office a little overwhelmed, and I couldn't figure out what this god was thinking in his heart.

Hirohito's spirit today is indeed good, and his eyes are shining. There was also a little more blood on his face, when he came in to the Xiang Palace. He was standing in front of a huge map of Japan with his hands behind his back, a look of excitement on his face.

Kido and Asaka Palace bowed to the Emperor, and Kido said, "Your Majesty, the Asaka Palace has arrived. ”

Hirohito glanced back at the two and smiled: "Flatten, Asakanomiya, you know the Chinese's "Statement on Policy Adjustment to Japan", right?" What do you think? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Asakanomiya quietly glanced at Hirohito, and then replied lightly: "The minister has already read the full text of the statement of the Shina people, and the minister thinks that this is a conspiracy to destroy Japan!" Don't be gullible in Japan! ”

Hirohito was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that Asakanomiya's face was a little gloomy, he thought about it, and nodded slowly: "I also know that the people of China must have a conspiracy, but the current situation of the empire ...... Is there still the strength to resist? Speaking of this, he looked at Kido again and asked in a deep voice, "Kido, how is the situation in the country?" Did the cabinet report over? ”

Kido Koichi frowned, and his voice was a little hesitant: "Your Majesty...... The situation in the country is very bad, the bombing of China for more than a month has already caused heavy losses to the industry of the empire! Eighty percent of the steel mills were blown up, and production dropped to 30,000 tons per month! Aircraft factories in Tokyo, Osaka, Sasebo and other places were also destroyed by bombing, as well as factories producing aluminum, and now domestic aircraft production has basically stopped, and shipyards in Kobe, Kuregungang, Sasebo and other places have also been destroyed in the bombing, and even ...... Aircraft carriers such as Akagi and Kaga, which are being repaired at the shipyard, are also ...... Also badly damaged!

In addition, the relocation plan is not going well. Due to the fact that the plant was blown up in large numbers. Most of the industrial facilities that were planned to be relocated out of Japan have already been ...... It doesn't exist anymore! Now we can only talk about transporting people out first. And ......"

"I didn't ask you about your relocation plans, I wanted to know about the situation at home." Hirohito waved his hand and interrupted Kido impatiently: "How's the domestic resistance arranged?" Can Japan be turned into a quagmire trapped in the Shina army? Also, has the commander of the Homeland Defense Army been chosen? ”

"This ......" Kido shook his head and said in a slurring voice: "The domestic resistance is being arranged, and now it is planned to establish a local defense army, as well as an underground army...... The commander of the General Defense Army has not yet been determined, and the commander of the underground army is ready to let Marshal Okamura Ninji take the post. ”

"Okamura? Why is it him again? Hirohito muttered, and Kido didn't answer the question, and there was actually nothing to say. Now everyone in Tokyo is trying to find a way to flee to New Japan or Hawaii, that is, sinners like Okamura who have fled from North Korea are willing to stay and die. Fortunately, Hirohito did not continue to ask, but asked about the equipment and training of the local defense army and the underground army.

However, Kido's answer was discouraging, in fact, due to insufficient pre-war reserves. Due to the excessive losses during the war, and the fact that a large number of materials were transported to New Japan, Japan's domestic weapons and material reserves have been exhausted! Not to mention the local defense army or the underground army, even the original so-called 6 million army is not equipped with enough rifles and machine guns, and as for heavy artillery, aircraft, tanks and other heavy weapons, even the front-line North Korean army has very little left. Among the troops left behind in the country, only the 1st Division and the Guards Division defending Tokyo also had a heavy artillery brigade and a tank brigade each. The rest of the troops could only be made up with infantry artillery and mountain artillery, and each division and regiment was only an artillery establishment of a brigade, which could not be used to fight a decisive battle at all.

That's all that is said and done. Koichi Kido hung his head deeply, not daring to look at Emperor Hirohito's face anymore. In fact, the situation in the country is even worse than he reported! Not only is there no weapons and equipment to resist, but even the food needed to maintain the minimum subsistence needs of the people is seriously insufficient! The ration of the people has been reduced again and again, to the point that it is less than three taels (about 6 taels) per person per day, and it will be difficult to maintain such a supply until next autumn...... At the same time, the Cabinet passed a resolution to ship a large amount of grain to Hawaii and New Japan! To make matters worse, the morale of the people is plummeting due to the lack of the most basic foodstuffs. Various secret organizations have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain! Among them, the Japanese GCD, which advocates GCISM, and the Japanese Kuomintang, which advocates pure socialism, have the greatest influence.

The pace of the social revolution in Japan seems to be getting closer and closer!

"Your Majesty! There was no artillery, no ammunition, and the imperial army could still fight with bayonets and flesh and blood. As long as we keep fighting, the final victory will definitely belong to the Empire! "King Asaka Palace seems to have heard something from the questions and answers of the pair of monarchs and ministers in front of him. So without waiting for the emperor to ask, he shouted loudly: "Even if the whole country has fallen, there will still be a new Japanese front!" The 700,000 elite of the Imperial Army of the New Japanese Front will never surrender! Please Your Majesty must not let down the sincerity of the soldiers of the Imperial Army! Please Your Majesty, don't let the elite of the 700,000 imperial army chill your heart! ”

As he spoke, the Japanese prince knelt down with a puff and fell to the ground and wept bitterly. Hirohito's face became even more gloomy, what kind of sincerity serves death...... This is clearly a warning against trying to compromise with China!

After leaving the palace, Hirohito sat on the throne without saying a word, and the warm and warm summer sun of Australia outside the window sprinkled on him through the window, but he still didn't feel a trace of warmth. I don't know how long it took before I heard Hirohito sigh and say to Kido who was standing beside him, "Send a secret telegram to Konoe and Matsuoka and ask them to ...... Make a statement rejecting China! Show the determination of the Imperial Government and me to resist to the end! ”

"Your Majesty......" Kido Yuki opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start, hesitated for a long time, bowed down, said: "Obey the order" and then turned around and left.

However, at this moment, Emperor Hirohito and Koichi Kido never dreamed that the consequences of their rejection of China's "Statement on Policy Adjustment Toward Japan" would be terrible!

On the very day after the Japanese government's "Statement Refuting the Chinese Government" was issued, Marshal Bai Chongxi, commander-in-chief of China's Beiyang Front, signed his name on the "Great God Plan" that dropped the atomic bomb! In addition, Busan, Pyongyang, and Wonsan, where Japanese troops and Japanese expatriates were entrenched, were three candidate targets for dropping atomic bombs.

At the same time, Chiang J-shih, commander of the Chinese-Japanese Front, who had just established a headquarters in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan Province, formally concluded the infamous "Chiang Bei Agreement" (also known as the "Taipei Agreement") with Kuibei Kazuki, the Japanese Kuomintang party. In this agreement, the Nationalist Government promised to maintain friendly and cooperative relations with the Japanese Government under the rule of the Japanese Kuomintang on the basis of the "Statement on the Adjustment of Policy Toward Japan," while Kita Ichiki, on behalf of the Japanese Kuomintang, assured the Chinese side that when the squadron began to invade Japan, it would launch an uprising in Tokyo, overthrow the Japanese militarist government, and establish a new government that pursued a friendly policy toward China.

However, what the ambitious Kita Kazuki never dreamed of was that the Japanese GCD leader Sanzo Nosaka also secretly arrived in Wuhan, the capital of China, on this day...
